Market Samurai vs Long Tail Pro Review

Let me google that for you

Let me google that for you

Personally I use market samurai and quite pleased with it, but many of my colleagues use LTP and are very pleased as well.
Now, as we live in an era that you can buy, try and return pretty much everything, theres no much use in looking for the right answer for this one, because both tools have an enormous amount of users ( so probably both are at least ok), so just dive into one and if you're not happy with it,switch to the other within the refund time frame.

The one thing MS has the LTP doesn't is the ability to use your own proxies...or the ones already built into MS, which is what slows it down but what also allows you to not have to sit and solve captchas or get banned. Also, there is no fee after you pay, unlike LTP where there is a platinum version that costs monthly on top of what you pay already. The platinum version gives you access to things already in MS. It's a good program but if you've already got MS, no point. You don't need 3+ kw programs.

+1 for MS, great software with excellent support.

Both are great tools.. but Market Samurai is what I recommend (just because I use it everyday).

anyone tried ultimate niche finder? MS is total waste of money now. MNF seems to be going good.

Yea, I think MS shows the competition numbers from Bing.

LTP is more suitable for finding EMD and if you are scraping for keywords. It is more user friendly than MS.While MS have more features than LTP like tracking keywords and sites, etc. LTP's panel is simpler than MS.

I meet people who swear by MS, until I tell 'em that it draws the dataset from Bing! ( <5% of search engine share).

Anyway, I use LTP everyday. It's ok, but the Platinum upgrade truly sucks! The Keyword Competitiveness function only works 30% of the time despite only performing a single query, i.e. takes ages to grab data, and usually returns no results!

Yuma, not all of it. SEOC yes but then SEOTC is a better judge of competition and that's through Google, and faster. Same with the actual competition module. I still swear by it (though I have a couple other tools that complement it.)

Trust/citation flow, onpage seo and I check out their backlink,anchor text as well as their demographic info.

MS delivers all the time. Commercial value and strength of the competition are so important when building solid sites.

I use Market Samurai, pretty good software!

I am Hoping get Ultimate Niche finder, its the best i think in the market for now.
Anyone here to advice?

I've never used LTP so I can't really say. But I've had MS for the last two or three years and have found it to be a very useful tool.

I never heard the thing about it pulling it's data from Bing, but that wouldn't really change my opinion of it. No research in regard to search engine numbers should be viewed as an exact science anyway, and there's a lot more to MS than just keyword research. The keyword research part of it just scratches the surface of what it does.

Besides, I have some serious doubts as to if that's even true because to get the best use of MS you need a Google account which it logs into, and it has a message box that comes up and tells you it's pulling data from Google. Call me gullible, but I don't think they're lying. I've never seen a box come up telling you it was pulling anything from Bing. I suspect that to be misinformation.

I for one am not looking to make a switch - I intend to continue using MS. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

One year old thread bumped? I am adding another bump just for the heck of it.

Tools don't matter. See any one of the successful marketer videos. The actual keyword identification is done elsewhere, and you will see Google Keyword Planner used for finding out the search volume (and that's it).

You want fast tools that actually tell you keyword difficulty, search volumes and more - go for Moz, SEMRush, SEOCockpit or similar. Yes, they cost a lot more money (and no, I don't own them but played with them using trial versions).

Most of the other tools are almost the same. Instead you can use skip all the fluff and use Google Keyword Planner for fast results.
